The Miami Dolphins have had several NFL greats wear their colors over the course of the franchise's existence, and six more of those players were unveiled on Tuesday to be added to the team's prestigious Walk of Fame.

Safety Dick Anderson, wide receiver Mark Duper, and linebacker John Offerdahl were all present at the Wynwood Walls for the reveal, getting to share their thoughts on being chosen for the Walk of Fame. Also being added are defensive end Jason Taylor, wide receiver Mark Clayton, and left tackle Jon Giesler, who were unable to attend due to prior engagements.

Between the six 2018 inductees to the Walk of Fame, they combined for 22 Pro Bowl selections, seven first-team All Pro nods, seven AFC Championships and two Super Bowl titles, playing a grand total of 61 seasons, appearing in 828 games with 741 starts.

An impressive resume, to say the least.

But what's more impressive is the impact that these players have made off the field, not just on it. Continuing with the tradition of the Miami Dolphins doing everything they can to make South Florida a better place, the inductees are also being recognized for their contributions to the numerous causes the Dolphins are involved with.

"With the Miami Dolphins in the community, you see a lot of activities going on." said Mark Duper. "You'd be surprised how much the Dolphins deal in the community, which leads me to being in the community because Nat (Moore) ain't gonna stop. I mean, the phone just constantly rings all the time with something going on in the community ... which is great, I don't mind doing that."

​With all that said, it would be remiss to simply dismiss the individual accomplishments of these players on the football field, as it is because of their success there that they have the platform they have.

And make no mistake, these players are not just community warriors, they have a veritable laundry list of achievements to their names.

Dick Anderson was a three-time Pro Bowl safety (1972-74) and played in 10 seasons (1968-77) for the Dolphins.
